Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your  machine may be connected to  a  host computer  via a  parallel  port or USB  port. Since the printer contains
more  than  one  device (printer and  scanner), it  is necessary  to  organize proper access  of user -installed
applications  to  these devices via the single  I/O port.
The  Unified Linux  Driver  package provides  an appropriate port sharing mechanism that  is used by  Dell printer and
scanner  drivers. The  drivers talk  to  their devices via so-called machine ports.  The  current status of any machine
port can  be viewed via the  Ports configuration.  The  port sharing prevents you from  accessing one  functional
block of the machine device, while  another block is in use.
When  you install a  new machine device onto your  system, it  is strongly recommended you do this with the
assistance  of an Unified Driver  Configurator .  In this case you will be asked  to  choose I/O port for the new device.
This choice will provide the most suitable configuration for machine’s  functionality. For  machine scanners, I/O
ports are being chosen  by scanner  drivers automatically,  so proper settings are applied  by default.
 
						

							Media and tray
This chapter provides  information  on how to  load  originals and  print  media into your  machine.
This chapter includes:
Preparing originals
Loading  originals
Selecting  print  media
Changing the tray  size
Loading  paper in the tray
Printing  on special media
Setting  the paper size and  type
Using the output support
Supported optional  devices and  features may differ according to  your  model.  Please  check  your  model name.
(See Features  by Model
).
Preparing originals
Do not load  paper smaller than  142 x  148 mm  (5.6  x  5.8 inches) or  larger  than  216 x  356 mm  (8.5  x  14 inches).
Do not attempt to  load  the following types of paper, in order  to  prevent  paper jam,  low  print  quality,  and  machine
damage.
Carbon -paper or carbon-backed paper
Coated  paper
Onion  skin  or thin  paper
Wrinkled or creased paper
Curled  or rolled paper
Torn paper
Remove all staples  and  paper clips before loading.
Make sure  any glue, ink,  or correction  fluid on the paper is completely dry before loading.
Do not load  originals that  include different sizes  or weights  of paper.
Do not load  booklets, pamphlets,  transparencies, or documents with other unusual  characteristics.
Loading originals
You  can  use the scanner  glass or the automatic document feeder  to  load  an original for copying, scanning, and  sending
a  fax.
On the scanner glass
Make sure  that  no originals are in the document feeder. If  an original is detected  in the document feeder, the
machine gives  it  priority over the original on the scanner  glass. To get  the best scan  quality,  especially for colored or
gray-scaled images, use the scanner  glass.
1. Lift and  open the scanner  lid.
 
						

							2. Place  the original face down  on the scanner  glass. And  align it  with the registration  guide at the top left  corner of
the glass.
3. Close  the scanner  lid.
Leaving the scanner  lid  open while  copying may affect copy  quality and  toner consumption.
Dust on the scanner  glass may cause black  spots on the printout.  Always keep it  clean (See Cleaning
the scan  unit).
If  you are copying a  page  from  a  book  or magazine,  lift the scanner  lid  until its  hinges  are caught by
the stopper and  then  close  the lid. If  the book  or magazine is thicker  than  30
 mm, start

 copying with
the lid  open.
Be  careful not to  damage  the scanner  glass. You  may get  hurt.
Do not put your  hands  on the scanner  unit  while  closing the scanner  lid. The  scanner  lid  may fall  on
your  hands  andcause injury.
Do not look the light  from  inside  of the scanner  while  copying or scanning. It is harmful to  eyes.
In the document feeder
Using the document feeder, you can  load  up  to  40 sheets  of  paper (75 g/m2,  20 lb bond)  for one  job.
1. Flex or fan  the edge  of the paper stack to  separate  the pages before loading originals.
2. Load the original face up  into the document feeder. Make sure  that  the bottom  of the original stack matches the
paper size marked on the document input tray.
 
						

							3. Adjust  the document feeder  width guides  to  the paper size.
Dust on the document feeder  glass may cause black  lines on the printout.  Always keep the glass clean (See
Cleaning the scan  unit
).
Selecting print media
You  can  print  on a  variety of print  media,  such as plain paper, envelopes, labels,  and  transparencies. Always use print
media that  meet the guidelines for use with your  machine.
Guidelines to select the print media
Print media that  does  not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:
Poor print  quality
Increased  paper jams
Premature wear  on the machine.
Properties,  such as weight, composition, grain,  and  moisture  content, are important  factors  that  affect the machine’s
performance  and  the output quality.  When  you choose print  materials,  consider the following:
The  type, size,  and  weight  of the print  media for your  machine are described in print  media specifications (See
Print media specifications 
).
Desired outcome: The  print  media you choose should be appropriate for your  project.
Brightness:  Some  print  media are whiter than  others  and  produce  sharper,  more  vibrant images.
Surface smoothness: The  smoothness  of the print  media affects  how crisp  the printing looks  on the paper.
Some  print  media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and  still not produce  satisfactory results. This
may be the result  of improper handling, unacceptable  temperature, and  humidity levels, or other variables
over which cannot be controlled.
Before  purchasing large  quantities  of print  media,  ensure that  it  meets the requirements  specified in this
user’s guide.
Using print  media that  does  not meet these specifications may cause problems,  requiring  repairs. Such repairs
are not covered by the warranty or service  agreements.
The  amount  of paper put into the tray  may differ according to  media type used (See  Print media specifications
).

For  information  about  setting  the paper type and  size (See Setting  the default tray  and  paper
).
If  you experience problems with paper feeding, check  whether  the paper meets the media specification. Then
try placing one  sheet at a  time in the manual tray  (See Print media specifications 
).
Manual tray
The  manual tray  can  hold special sizes  and  types of print  material,  such as postcards, note cards, and  envelopes. It
is useful  for single  page  printing on letterhead or colored paper.
Tips  on using the manual tray
 
						

							If  you select Manual Feeder  for Source  from  your  software application, you need  to  press   OK each  time you
print  a  page  and  load  only  one  type, size and  weight  of print  media at a  time in the manual tray.
To prevent  paper jams, do not add  paper while  printing when  there is still paper in the manual tray. This also
applies  to  other types of print  media.
Print media should be loaded face up  with the top edge  going  into the manual tray  first and  be placed in the
center of the tray.
Always load  the specified print  media only  to  avoid  paper jams  and  print  quality problems (See  Print media
specifications ).
Flatten any curl  on postcards, envelopes, and  labels before loading them  into the manual tray.
1. Load the paper in the manual tray.
Do not force  the paper beyond  the surface with mark  when  loading.
When  printing the special media,  you must  follow  the loading guideline  (See Printing  on special
media).
When  papers overlap when  printing using  manual tray, open tray  1 and  remove overlapping papers
then  try printing again.
When  paper does  not feed well while  printing, push the paper in manually until it  starts  feeding
automatically.
2. Squeeze  the manual tray  paper width guides  and  adjust  them  to  the width of the paper. Do not force  them
too  much, or the paper will bent resulting in a  paper jam  or skew.
3. To print  in application, open an application  and  start  the print  menu.
4. Open Printing Preferences  (See Opening  printing preferences).
5. Press  the  Paper tab in  Printing Preferences ,  and  select an appropriate paper type.
For  example, if you want  to  use a  label, set  the paper type to   Label.
6. Select  Manual Feeder  in paper source,  then  press   OK.
7. Start printing in application.
If  you are printing multiple pages, load  the next sheet after the first page  prints out, and  press  the  OK.
Repeat  this step for every page  to  be printed.
Printing on special media
The  table below  shows  the available  special media for each  tray.
When  using  special media,  feed one  paper at a  time.  Check the maximum  input number of media for each  tray
